The Hetch-Hetchy Valley., John Muir Jan 1908

The Hetch-Hetchy Valley., John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

Sierra Club Bulletin. Vol. VI. San Francisco, January, 1908. No. 4. THE HEXCH-HETCHY VALLEY By John Muir. ' It is impossible to overestimate the value of wild mountains and mountain temples as places for people to grow in, recreation grounds for soul and body. They are the greatest of our natural resources, God's best gifts, but none, however high and holy, is beyond reach of the spoiler. In these ravaging money-mad days monopolizing San Francisco capitalists are now doing their best to destroy the Yosemite Park, the most wonderful of all our great mountain national parks. Beginning on the Tuolumne …

December 1[illegible]th, 1907.

Editor of the "Daily Commercial News",
San Francisco, Cal.

Dear Sir:-

Your issue of the 10th inst. contained a criticism of my position on "The Hatch Hetchy Water Supply" and I assume that you will be fair enough to give me a "square deal" in the matter and hence send you this reply. The writer of that criticism is evidently one of those whom I referred to as being "wedded" to the Hetch Hetchy system, though he does not disclose his identity.
He brushes aside my reference to Professor [illegible]arx' statements made before the Common Health …

The Tuolumne Yosemite In Danger., John Muir Nov 1907

The Tuolumne Yosemite In Danger., John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

Ok i THE TUOLUMNE YOSEMITE IN DANGER BY JOHN MUIR THE Hetch Hetchy Valley, " that wonderful counterpart of Yosemite" as State Geologist Whitney called it, was discovered by Mr. Joseph Sereech in 1850, the year before the discovery of Yosemite, when the Digger Indians held possession of it as an acorn orchard. After my first visit in the autumn of 1871, I have always called it the Tuolumne Yosemite, for it is a wonderfully exact counterpart of the great Yosemite, not only in its ciystal river and sublime rocks and waterfalls, but in the gardens, groves, and meadows / …

Letter From John Muir To [Theodore Roosevelt], 1907 Sep 9., John Muir

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Dear Mr. Presidents=

Martinez, California. Sept. 9/07.

I am anxious that the Yosemite National Park may be saved from all sorts of commercialism and marks of man's work other than the roads, hotels etc required to make its wonders and blessings available. For as far as I have seen there is not in all the wonderful Sierra, or indeed in the world another so grand and wonderful and useful a block of Nature's mountain handiwork.
There is now under consideration, as doubtless you well know, an application of San Francisco Supervisors for the use of Hetch Hetchy Valley and Lake …

TO CHIEF CLERK
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Martinez, California, California. Sept. 6/07.

Dear Sir:

At the close of a meeting of the Sierra Club, called to consider the proposed Hetch Hetchy Reservoir Site, I met Mr. Pinchot, and after a brief talk in which the subject was outlined, he never having seen it, seemed surprised to learn how important a part of the Yosemite Park the Hetch Hetchy really is. He promised to call if possible after the close of the Irrigation Congress and go over the matter in detail, and advised me to write you in …

desire of my heart while our mother is still with us. She was very ill in the spring, and tho better now, is very much broken. It seemed strange that she should collapse with physically and mentally so suddenly after seventy of such unusual health; but so it is. Aunt Julia's slight hold on life continence still slighter. The boys are well, are working very hard are as devoted as they should be to their pail mother.
Aunt Mina is the same Aunt Mina, only more so - poor lonely soul. She sees so life for herself. My blessed …

John Muir Correspondence (PDFs)

Berkeley, christmas Day, 1905

Mr. Muir, Miss Wanda & Helen Muir:

Dear Friends:

On this glad day of friendship and of reunions my thoughts turn instinctively to you in your exile and loneliness, and I cannot forbear sending you my greeting - too late indeed to be of avail in brightening this day, mournful and lonely as it is, I fear, but a greeting warm and sincere in its goodwill, which will not come amiss, I hope, on any day. I greatly appreciated Mr. Muir's letter of Nov. 8, and rejoiced in its more hopeful news of Helen's state, and …
